Rumor: Will Nintendo punk us with the Wii?

'Nintendo has been playing us the fool all along. They have been showing us trailers for games that have deliberately downgraded graphics compared to what the Wii can actually do. This is to create an element of surprise for the press during Nintendo's next media event.'

who knows maybe, only if we forget all about the size of the wii. And pretend that the wii it's made with super advance nano technology from the future which by the way it is from another galaxy (Alien technology to be more specific).

I hardly think it's their own fault that their ps2's lay dormant in their cupboards because they ain't "run of the mill gamers". In their words, most games are "same old, same old" & pretty graphics on a $300 or $600 console isn't going to change their minds. You can class them as "nostalgic" if nostalgia means the days of gameplay before graphics.

I was a Zelda fan, i still am a Zelda fan, and forever more will i be a Zelda fan, and a Mario fan. But can't you see my point though. Whilst these standout games are brilliant, this is all that is on offer with Nintendo. Same thing, year after year. Zelda, Mario, Zelda, Mario... I want more. People like big budget blockbuster experiences and that's why PS2 and even the Xbox beat the Gamecube. People love gameplay but also love graphics. But why should we have to choose? PS3, Xbox 360 offers both, even if the gameplay hasn't evolved in those sytems as much as the Wii's will. I'm sure it will sell through the roof, but never that mass-market because people want graphics too. Nintendo are taking us a step backwards...

Yea whatever... its SOOO smart to dumb your product down first. We know the specs of the system and know what its capable of in the visual department. This is just a Nintendo Fanboys wet dream...nothing to see here.

...is just playing it safe; they don't want to pull a Sony and get everyone's expectations high, then drop them... then drop them again... then drop them again. I will probably get a PS3 in two years... especially if BluRay wins the format war... after they fix all the bugs, and they prove it is worth getting.

Actual swordplay? That is amazing, and far from childish, please leave this fantastic machine alone. No matter what you all say this isnt a childish machine. It will give awesome gameplay and i cant wait. If the graphics are awesome, then that makes it all the sweeter.

As they where still using gamecube dev kit's with a wii controler as the dev kit have only just been finished so it will have 2.5 times the graphical power, this is also why zelda looks the same as the gamecube version. also it will not be running at HD resolutions so the GPU won't be have to work as hard with the post processing ect. IT's just as microsoft did with the 360 with it's early dev kit's

It doesnt matter, I mean WII isnt going to look like 360 or ps3 its going to have Zelda and Mario , Metriod prime and thats all I need for now. Especially with the wiimote. If I want awesome graphics Ill go to my 360 if I want ledgendary and innovative gameplay I go to my Wii. I personally cant wait too swing my arm and sword simultaneusly.
